In Tyler, Texas, a man was hospitalized after he shot at an armadillo—only to have the bullet ricochet off the animal's hard outer shell and hit him in the head. According to news station KLTV 7, he was only sustained minor injuries and was treated for them.
Officials from the Cass Country Sheriff's department are investigating the shooting—but what is there to investigate? The man told officials that he "felt compelled" to take aim at the armadillos "after seeing it on the highway." Checks out with us. After all, this isn't the first time we've heard of someone getting shot by a bullet intended for these sturdy mammals.
